Static nerve pain

[broadwaymama]

Is it possible that I'm having sciatic nerve pain already!? I'm not even five weeks yet. I had it really bad for my last two but I don't remember it starting this early. With my son I had it so bad I couldn't even get up the stairs. If this is the way it's going to be I'm looking at a long nine months! Anyone else had it this early?

Never experienced it this early, but there are other causes of sciatic nerve pain I believe, too....If it's already bothering you a lot it might be worth getting checked out.

broadwaymama I'm sorry you are in pain. This is my first pregnancy so I have no idea if it is too early or not, but have you ever tried acupuncture or a chiropractor? Maybe that could help? I have been seeing a chiropractor for a while now and he has helped tremendously with my back problems.

Yep. Mine hurt pretty bad yesterday. I had it terribly with baby 2, but would have flare ups since, so I'm not sure if it's related to this pregnancy.

Sorry it hurts! I've only had sciatic pains outside of pregnancy, so I don't know as a symptom, but it's definitely possible. Hope you are able to get some relief.

If it continues I will talk to my chiropractor, however that means spilling the beans because she's my aunt!!!!! I always wanted to try acupuncture! I have to see if my new insurance covers it!

I had it bad with DD. Going to a chiropractor helped, but only up until about 25 weeks. At that point, she'd adjust me, and I'd feel better, but with my ligaments being all loosey-goosey I was right back in pain within an hour. I'd definitely try accupuncture this time though. I know, it sucks.
